[quote=Anonymous]British expat living here and I'm amazed that OP said she feels every interaction in the UK is based around money. What do you mean? I'm particularly surprised because that's one of the things I feel here, especially with the tipping culture, that a tip is expected for every single thing here whereas it is only expected in the UK in restaurants (and not 20% either) and maybe to the person who washes your hair at the hairdresser. And of course when you go to the doctor/hospital you are just treated and there are no questions about who you are and your insurance. Also to the OP, the advice here about getting out and meeting people through classes,etc is good, and also to living like the British as far as you can. That is something I'm working on here, and sometimes it's quite challenging for me but generally I'm loving the experience here.[/quote]
